    Not that I expected anything else beside 4.2 in this "all new" RS car, but it is interesting thing to point out!
    I thought the engine was extensively changed when the RS5 was released that hardly make it the same engine unless you are referring to the cylinder count and capacity.

    That's the same as saying the next M3 will be using an engine first introduced years ago with first 335i or even further back to the E36 if its just the cylinder count and capacity.

    Dear Friends,

    i do understand the new Audi RS 4 Avant is not what everyone would like to see. You do have to keep in mind that technology sharing across the same platform is logical from a business point of view.

    Personally i would have placed the inline five in the B8 chassis... well not this time (B8) but who says not in the future.
